The grammatical and stylistic errors are

  • Pennsylvania was  governed by a member of the Penn family until the beginning of the Revolutionary War. -Passive voice
  • The  colony remained committed to William Penn's ideals for this span of so very many, long years. -Wordiness
  • As governor of the colony, the first constitution was written by Penn  and called for an elected legislature. -Subject-verb agreement error
  • Penn's Christian values extended to the Native  Americans, he paid them for the land and refused to exploit them. -Comma splice
  • A Quaker, Penn sort  of hoped Pennsylvania would be a haven for his fellow Quakers who faced continual  persecution in England. -Informal word
  • William Penn valued religious freedom and self-government, he established the colony of  Pennsylvania in 1682 as a welcoming land for others with similar values. Pronoun-antecedent agreement.

Several grammatical and stylistic blunders occurred in the sentences above. Wordiness occurred when several words that would have been substituted for just one were used. Subject-verb agreement error happened when the verb did not correlate with the subject in the sentence.

'Sort of hoped' is an informal phrase. Passive voice occurs when the subject received the action of the verb. Pronoun-antecedent agreement error is the absence of a symbiotic relationship between the pronoun and the phrases that come after it.

The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe is an exceptional book published on 16 October 1950. The story is about four children who are taken out of London to avoid the Blitz and went to live with a professor in his large house. Living there, they discovered a wardrobe that led to a secret passageway to Narnia.

Similarly, in 1941 children were taken out of East London to escape the effects of World War II. These children came from different families and consolidated with one another in times of need.

 

The theme of the book and real-life events has striking similarities. The children in the book bond with another world to escape the realities of life while, the wartime children made friendships with each other to ease their frustration.

Write a paragraph on the topic “ Reading takes you around the world: ”
Citrus2011 [14]
When we read books, the stories in them transport us from the world we are in to the world within the pages of the book. To be transported by a book requires the reader to have an emotional response to the book, to visualise the story and eventually, become immersed in it. As a reader, I consider myself lucky to have read several books that have made me lose awareness of my existing surroundings and drawn me into the story unravelling in the book.

“There’s always room for a story that can transport people to another place.” – J.K. Rowling

When I think of being transported by a book, a recent incident comes to my mind. On a winter morning, I had boarded a train to Furkating, a small town in Assam. It was a bleak morning and the sun was a pale yellow, melting into a silver sky. In a compartment colder than December, I sat tucked in my winter clothes amidst rows of filled seats. As the train started with a jolt, I brought out a book from my overstuffed handbag and started reading the first chapter.

Soon, I was deeply engrossed in the story and before I knew it half an hour had passed… The train was starting to slow down as we had reached a station; on a cemented slab in yellow, the letters read ‘Panbari’. Some of the seats in front of me that were previously filled now lay empty. Two of the solo passengers who sat ahead of me had struck up a conversation about the weather in Dimapur – probably the place they were heading to. The winter sun was now splattered across the sky and shining over thatched-roof villages that we were fast leaving behind as the train gained momentum.

Mary Balogh describes it perfectly, “Have you ever wanted to travel back in time? I know I have. And I think that’s why historical romance is so appealing. That experience of being so immersed in the story that it feels like you’re really there: strolling along in a moonlit rose garden with a duke, or taking tea in a lady’s finely appointed drawing room. And if you’re the adventurous type (like me), perhaps you find yourself riding on a cable car in San Francisco, or exploring the canals of Venice in a gondola. Whatever the tale, these new experiences are just waiting to be discovered; beckoning you, enticing you, entreating you to pause, to sit down and to spend time between the pages of a good book.”
